fire outbreak at Takoradi makeshift market in the Western Region of Ghana has razed down over 100 shops.
The incident, which happened in the wee hours of Monday, destroyed properties worth thousands of cedis.
The fire, according to eyewitnesses, started around 2 am but got out of hand after several attempts to douse the flame proved futile.
It took the National Fire Service over five hours to bring the fire under control and stop it from spreading to other parts of the market.
Meanwhile, the Western Regional Minister, who doubles as the Acting Municipal Chief Executive of Takoradi, Kwabena Okyere-Darko-Mensah has, visited the scene after the fire was brought under control.
He said the assembly, as a matter of urgency, will ensure the reconstruction of the affected stores within this week.
